DON’T SETTLE FOR A Warren Marcus rom 1995 through 2003, I spent most of my life imim mersed in God’s outpourings at the Toronto Airport ChrisChris tian Fellowship, in Pensacola with the Brownsville Revival and in Smithton, Missouri with the Smithton Outpouring.

Many of us were delivered from the bondage of a wicked slave master named Satan.
